Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Adam H. Putnam today released the following statement regarding the “Fresh From Florida” program following the meeting of the House’s Agriculture & Natural Resources Appropriations Subcommittee:
“This is a political assault on a good program that will have real consequences on real people. Gutting the Fresh From Florida program will hurt Florida’s small farms the most – their ability to raise awareness for the high quality of their locally grown products and compete against lesser quality products from foreign countries.”
